Hey everyone! This is my first post but I have been lurking around the forums for quite some time here. Me and a group of students have decided to construct a small skid steer/weight lifting robot and I have been given the task of designing the controller/electrical system for it. This is my first time taking on a task like this and I wanted to get some people with more experience to check out my design for the system and give me some feedback.
Some Constraints:
The robot is going to have 5 movements (Left side forward/backwards, Right side forward/backwards, Lifter arm Up/Down, Full Forward, and Full Reverse). It will use 6 SPDT relays for actuation. The controller and robot will be connected by 28 gauge tether wires connected by a 9-pin connector. The power supply for the Controller will be a 9v battery and for the robot motors it will be 4 AA batteries.
What I am really having problems with is Finding the right component specifications by calculating the current/voltage going through all the components. Any help or suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
